Elixir ELX-30
My 12 year old Outfitter Apex has the Elixir ELX-30 power/converter in it. I have the owners manual, not very detailed, which states that the fan is variable speed and will stop when demand is low. ...

My Elixir power converter in my 2006 Outfitter Apex 8 failed in exactly the same manner about 2 years ago. While I am a big fan of "Made in USA", at the time I came across the WFCO 8735 for about $120.00. It was an absolute "drop-in" replacement for the Elixir in the Apex 8. So far it has performed flawlessly and my 2 Trojan 6V batteries are much happier than they were before. I like the LED open circuit indicators on the WFCO as it is much easier to see if a fuse has blown. I don't know if it will last any shorter or longer than any other brand made anywhere else but we'll see.
Edited: BTW, the A/C should still work fine as A/C in to the Elixer provides A/C to the converter but also just feeds the A/C distribution breakers on the Elixer. None of the A/C distributed throughout the camper relies on any of the Elixer 12V portion (charging or distribution) to be functional.
